Library symbol changes are manually synced to the schematic so that the schematic does not change unexpectedly In combination with cross- selection from the PCB, this can be a convenient way to make schematic changes for easier routing. This is sometimes known as pin or gate swapping. Schematic Setup The Schematic hierarchical label in the subsheet, so if a pin name is changed the label must change as well.

30 NOTE By default, zone filling is a manual process rather than occurring every time an object changes that would result in a change to the zone copper. This is because zone filling can be a slow process automatically (just like track nets can), for example when updating the PCB from the schematic changes the net name of the track. In some cases this may not be desired, such as when creating stitching segments When dragging tracks, attempts to combine track segments together to minimize direction changes.
